A boundary survey locates and documents property lines based on records, field evidence, and applicable surveying practice. The surveyor evaluates relevant deeds, plats, monuments, and other evidence. Results are professional opinions under local rules and the scope of work. A map or fence location alone does not establish a legal boundary.
Why it matters for owners
Boundary information affects acquisition, site planning, easements, and construction limits. Engage a licensed surveyor for project-specific work.
